World Water Monitoring Day

The Earth Team's major effort in 2005 is World Water Monitoring Day (WWMD). Earth Team volunteers will be monitoring waters across Arizona, gathering data on temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity. 

Water monitoring occurs Sept. 18-Oct. 18, with the WWMD celebration on Oct. 18. Earth Team members will receive a free water monitoring kit and information on how to play a part in World Water Monitoring Day.
